Home-made dash bezel
Has anybody ever seen a dash like this? It was in the truck when I bought it. I think it's probably home-made.

Re: Home-made dash bezel
that true woodgrain dash bezel looks like it was very well made. some of the porpotions look a lil' off though and some extra holes but still nice.
I bet you could sand it up and refinish it nicely and put some of your truck pictures in each of the holes it would make a cool wall hanger

Re: Home-made dash bezel
Yeah they were old Stuart Warner guages. The top two were 3 3/8 and the bottoms were 2 5/8. It's real nice and you're right. It would be super nice if it was re-sanded and re-stained. I never thought about the pic/wall hanger idea. Thanks.

Re: Home-made dash bezel
I'd almost be tempted to have it professionally stripped then re-stain it and re-use it on the truck...
